It's safe to say Met Gala 2018 is on the minds of many this morning. And to celebrate the kick-off to the First Monday in May, Emily Ratajkowski took to Instagram to show off an abbreviated wig that didn't make the cut—though the chop itself was unquestionably chic.

The model-turned-actress stopped scrolls in a tousled, face-framing pixie that made for a gamine departure from her usual brand of bombshell. Piece-y and slightly elvish, the look played well with EmRata's trademark pout and power brow, all while forcing followers to imagine the ensemble that this trompe-l'œil look could have accompanied. "Didn’t work out for tonight butttt...stay tuned!" Ratajkowski teased in the caption, tagging hairstylist Jennifer Yepez as the mastermind behind the transformation. Given the pre-event change-up, EmRata herself only knows how she'll turn heads this evening—but if this moment is any indication, it's likely to be a show-stopping red carpet splash.
